Did I Expect Angels? is the story of Jennifer Huffaker,
whose life is changed in the course of a night by a near
stranger, who senses the crisis she's in and decides that
tonight is the night he needs to help her; he becomes an
unexpected "angel" who literally saves her life. Jennifer Huffaker, a young mother and widow, is one of two
protagonists in Did I Expect Angels? She was
widowed eighteen months earlier and has not dealt well with
her new lot in life. Two days after Christmas, she is
making final preparations to commit suicide and finds she
must refill her prescription. At the store, she runs into
Henry, a Costa Rican immigrant of 40 years and a casual
acquaintance. He senses her emotional state and decides
that tonight is the night he will help her. At a diner, he
tells her his life’s story—his poverty-stricken youth, his
marriage and immigration and considerable struggles with
his new life in America and his family. As he talks,
Jennifer relives her own story—meeting and marrying her
husband, the birth of their daughter, his death, and the
ugly emotional aftermath—and we weave back and forth
between the two until the end, when they come together in a
surprising way. Jennifer realizes the magnitude of what
she’s almost done, and that she has what she needs to go
on.
